Michael was very interesting and entertaining with the right amount of humour. It was lovely that he took the trouble to walk around the tables and meet everybody.
I’ve never seen a speaker actually do that before. It was a nice touch.

Thank you for your excellent talk at the R3 Annual Conference at Celtic Manor recently. I have to say I wish that some day I could command the stage as you do! Feedback was excellent and we may have attracted many more viewers to your TV programmes I feel.

Michael Portillo was excellent. Certainly amongst the best speakers we have had in 20 years of this Conference.

Sue, Investment Property Forum 8 Feb 2010

In our briefing note, we asked Michael for his perspective on the future economic and political picture and he more than delivered. The feedback from our lunch guests rated Michael as 'excellent'.

It went really well and Michael was an excellent speaker. He was a great choice so thank you for suggesting him. The audience really enjoyed having him there and we felt he came into his own when taking questions from the floor.

Michael's role was to an informal one to help stimulate discussion and debate at an informal private dining environment which he fulfilled very well. He said a few words up front, handled questions and challenges from our guests very well and got the debate and discussion moving around the table adeptly. We will definitely consider using Michael again

I just wanted to thank you for your excellent talk last week in Harrogate. I know from all the very positive feedback that the guests relished your every word.

Michael was very well received, spoke well and by not using a lecture created an intimacy with the audience which comprised over 400 people.

Very friendly and charming, the first speaker we have had who went to all the tables to chat to the guests during dinner.

His after dinner talk was very entertaining and enjoyable.

Sally, WBR 28 Apr 2009

Michael did a great job. He gave me a clear indication of the content of his presentation and took the time to call me before the event to discuss how it would pan out in terms of format and appropriateness of content. He really seemed bothered about getting it right, which was a delight!
We had great feedback and happy punters. Excellent.

Jenny, GWE Business West 3 Dec 2008

Excellent speaker. Took time out during the dinner to visit each table and talk with the delegates providing a good experience for our guests.
Small tip for organisers please double check equipment requirements with Michael as he changed his requirements on the evening
